Hi Rasan, welcome to the PalmTalk!

This washingtonia looks fine to me. The oldest leaf bases that are near to the ground are just rotting off. No cause for concern, just makes it look a bit shaggy, but this can be cleaned up by removing the loose/dried out material. The growth in the crown looks very healthy!
